Here are just a few events in Chicago the weekend of our wedding:

- Chicago Air and Water Show

In honor of Lauren and Colin's wedding, the City of Chicago has decided to host the largest spectator event in the United States! Just kidding... Coincidentally though, The Chicago Air and Water show is the weekend of our wedding, and DOES happen to be the largest spectator event in the U.S. While this could make for some entertainment and exciting "fly-overs", it does mean that the city will be extremely busy over the weekend, so plan ahead when getting around-- especially the more north you plan to go in the city. The event is centered along the lake around North Avenue Beach and Oak Street Beach, both of which are just north of the Magnificent Mile area of the city.

- North Side Summerfest - Just down the street from St. Benedict!
